Vintage American Tourister Suitcase...for $4.50!

Last weekend my husband suggested we visit a thrift store out in the northern Twin Cities suburbs. It had a treasure trove of vintage items, including this suitcase:

It didn't have a price tag on it, so the guy offered to sell it for $4.50. Crazy. Suitcases like this sell on Etsy.com for at least $30 -- and they aren't even in as good of shape as this suitcase was.

As for what I'm going to do with this suitcase, I'm completely clueless. Right now it's sitting in my living room, as pictured above, just fermenting and looking pretty. It is sturdy, but I don't exactly want to use for traveling...like I'll be traveling anytime soon.

What is Sexy Vintage Finds?

Sexy Vintage Finds is a very vintage-happy blog created and maintained by Annie Olson, an avid vintage item collector. But that's enough of me in the third person. I scour the Internet--and local shops--for awesome vintage deals and post them on here. That's about all I'll ever post here.
